It said printers could see a reduced number of make-ready sheets, more even colour reproduction and decreased misting, including on high-speed presses.
The update affects several existing commercial and packaging ink lines, including ECO-PERFECT-DRY and MGA CORONA.
Based on extended production tests, hubergroup said the new resin system led to benefits such as a broader water window for steadier printing, reduced dampening levels, fewer sheets needed for press adjustments, and stable print density with consistent colour output.
The company plans to introduce the resin technology across its global conventional offset portfolio in the first half of 2026. Product names and sales codes will stay the same.
hubergroup sheetfed product manager Richard Gill said: “As we at hubergroup manufacture our own resins, we can tailor the formulation to precisely meet the performance characteristics we want. This capability enabled us to develop a perfectly aligned resin technology for our conventional offset inks.
“With this new technology, we are one step ahead of the market and fully aligned with the current and future needs of print and packaging companies. We invite customers to reach out to us at any time to learn more about the advantages of this innovation.”
Last month, hubergroup announced the launch of a new LED-curing ink series for food packaging at METPACK 2026.
The NewV tin LED MGA product is intended for use in three-piece can applications.
